Question 10 Explanation:
The intersection of two regular languages is always a regular language (by closure property of regular language) and testing infiniteness of regular language is decidable. Hence statement I is decidable.
Statement IV is also decidable, we need to check that whether the given grammar satisfies the CFG rule (TYPE 2 grammar productions).
But statements II and III are undecidable, as there doesn’t exist any algorithm to check whether a given context-free language is regular and whether two push-down automata accept the same language.
Statement IV is also decidable, we need to check that whether the given grammar satisfies the CFG rule (TYPE 2 grammar productions).
But statements II and III are undecidable, as there doesn’t exist any algorithm to check whether a given context-free language is regular and whether two push-down automata accept the same language.
